I find it harder to get motivated in the cold dark months, it gets easier in the summer for me! Getting out and about to groups helps a lot otherwise it can be a very lonely job and you get stuck with the loonies on here![]()

***** proofed the house but they're still getting in!
It is hard. you work your butt off and you get no feedback, that is why this forum is great. I am not in a support group, but kept in touch with a girl from my course and there is another childminder at my sons school who is lovely, so I try and hook up with them.
Thank you all so much guys, I truly appreciate your ongoing help and support xxxxx
All the above advice is good. Another thing I have found that has helped me the most over the years was to find a social hobby/interest that was completely unconnected with children! It gave me something to look forward to that took me away from being minder/mum. I know its hard when you have young children of your own but maybe you can snatch one evening a week to yourself to join a class or a club?
Hi,I totally know how you feel despite all my best efforts with advertising and being know by school , local childminders etc i only have 1 before and after schoolie and can count on 1 hand the number of enquiries ive had !!
I know the service i'm offering is good , price competitive , nice setting etc so am sure my time will come and yours will too!!
An inspector phoned me yesterday to book my grading inspection but is trying again in 3 months due to my lack of children , she did say it is the hardest time starting out and not to worry!!
